Recent Work
Ah, September arrives… the summer leaves.
Amidst rollerblading, wedding plans and camping trips, I have been a-job hunting. Included in this super-merry fun post, are some character tests for a couple of people I’ve contacted regarding book illustration work.
 |
| Bear |
First character for a gentleman in the UK, apologies for the out of focus-ness. Said gentleman wanted a basic teddy bear character, nothing fancy. He also specifically asked for aposable fingers and thumbs.
 |
| Girl |
Second character for the above mentioned gent. He had requested a girl in a nurses uniform, blonde. I chose a uniform that was too big and ill fitting to make her look smaller and more, well, adoreable! Both characters were produced with crayon.

| Artist Christmas Elf |
This was the initial design for a fellow in the States. The design laid down was a Christmas Elf with a love of art. So I chose a traditional artist look; hat, paint-splattered dungerees, pencil behind the ear, while keeping with the Christmas theme, hence the red, white and green colours. While the fellow was pleased with the outcome, he has requested a second concept in a less “cartoony” style, more leaning towards art deco.

| Frog |
This was for my sake; I like frogs! The frog and the elf were both produced in oil pastil on sugar paper.
Peace out.

PS. All the above art has been produced by me - Bronwyn Dowle - and is owned entirely by me. The bear and the girl are designs owned by Mr. BB of the UK and the elf design is owned by Mr. JB of the USA. Any attempts to copy these designs or use the above work without permission will result in a serious butt-kicking.
